Injustice - Would you want an Ed Boon developed Marvel fighter?

NRS can't do anime fighters. Don't even give me that shit.

The mobility options in Injustice is pure dog shit compared to mvc2 and mvc3.

I'm in no way a fighting game expert since most entries in the genre bore me to tears pretty fast. But Injustice really grabbed me. It seems there's a lot of hate for in here for it which kind of surprises me. Maybe its a game that specifically appeals to people who don't like typical fighting game mechanics/design?

Its not that it appeals to you because you don't like typical fighting game mechanics. It appeals to you because Netherealm are pretty much the best at delivering single player content in fighting games. Most fighting games bore you because there's nothing to do except vs mode, training mode and comparitively weak arcade/story modes.
 
So, what I'm learning is the meltdowns will be epic when it's revealed NRS is making the next marvel themed fighter.

it would be weird given Injustice had a character who's trait was flight, in a cast full of characters that can fly but can't for...reasons. Yeah, they didn't really go as far mechanically as they should've, but that didn't make it bad.

NR not doing an Anime fighter doesn't imply they aren't capable of doing so.

It's just not part of their style.

The aesthetic and design for one thing is very different on the basis that NR are a western based development studio so the design aspects would be intrinsically different that a Japanese developed fighting game is known for.

The closest dev that bridges this gap in terms of gameplay style would be Lab Zero Games. There aren't many Western developed traditional fighting games to begin with. I'd need to do some research, but I'm probably not likely to find many others.
 
Two conditions
1) it has to be like 2D MK
2) Instead of digitizing photographs, Alex Ross has to paint all the sprites

Otherwise, I don't know what NRS would do with Marvel other than a crossover. Capcom has already established movesets for many Marvel characters that have existed for 2 decades now*. It'd be very difficult to break players' preconceptions of the the characters.

*2014 is the 20th anniversary of X-Men: Children of the Atom's release in the arcade!
 
UMvC3 is probably my favourite fighting game and while I don't have any problems with Injustice, it probably wouldn't be in my top 20. So this is kinda like asking me if I'd like to swap my wife out for some dude.
 
I want Namco to get the license and have Harada/Project Soul to oversee the gameplay (3D with 2D elements) and CC2 to do the visuals (Joe Mad's style works well for games) and content.
 
I'd love a marvel fighting game period. A 1 on 1 style fighting game like street fighter with only marvel locations characters and stories.

I really miss the original msh.
 
In the comic book world different artist do different takes on the same characters all the time. The beauty is in the perspectives that the artist offer. You people are so disrespectful. NRS would have superior storytelling and a more mature presentation. Yes, I'd like to see it.

I'd like to see Boon's or Capcom's take on GI Joe as a fighting game. Also enter the equation of Boon and that Ninja Scroll license.
 
Nope. However, I think I'd love something like Jump Ultimate Stars, but Marvel.
*swoon* Just imagining new Ms. Marvel kicking ass in a fighting game of that style is amazing *^*

Not really.
 
I have to ask: Why must a Marvel fighting game be "anime" or anime-esque?


Also, almost everyone in Injustice was "accurate and well represented", don't know what you're knocking there.
 
It would be mechanically stiff and not as exciting. Also.. slow.

Bias: I don't like Boon's fighters, only Injustice is somehow passable.
 
Marvel vs Capcom 3 has become too niche with its long combos. Boon would make it more accessible. I think Boon's version would sell more and bring in the casuals. A bonus is the Capcom homers would hate it.
 
No thanks. Don't want a slow and clunky marvel where it feels like the things you want to do come out way later than when you actually hit the buttons. It would be like covering everyone with tar and fitting them with cement shoes comparing marvel 3 to injustice.

I didn't know there was so much hate towards Injustice, especially the art style. I admit that the colour palette struck me as muted, but I thought NetherRealm Studios did an amazing job bringing existing and original costumes to life. I spent so much time admiring the concept art in the archives, as well as the character models in the model viewer. Sure, the female character models could use a little extra work, but NetherRealm Studios did the DC universe absolute justice.

Superior storytelling and a more mature presentation are definitely points I'd love to see in future Marvel fighters. NRS did a great job at fleshing out their take on the DCU, something that Capcom has failed to do so far. Their Marvel fighters are so flat and uninteresting. I want to see another developer's take on the Marvel universe. A different perspective could bring something new and exciting to the table.

MvC3 was mechanically sound and the gameplay was reasonably fun, but I think it was too niche. Accessibility and increased sales would surely be high on Marvel's list of priorities when considering future titles. Every title seems to be built around opening the Marvel brand up to a wider audience. Consider that Injustice didn't have an immediately recognisable name, yet still sold well for a brand new IP.

how does having long combos make it niche? what is the metric for this? from a casual perspective, mvc3 is already plenty accessible by its simple button layout/design, responsive controls and easy mechanics. it's very easy to get into and see results, whereas i can't say the same about a game like kof13 which actually has short combos. i agree ed boon would do a better job at catering to casuals but that's through the engaging single player content alone as opposed to the gameplay mechanics
 
I was never that great a fan of Mahvel Vs Capcom, so why not? As long as it's cool, not dog slow, and not twitch. Sure.
 
I think marvel should stay with Capcom as much as DC should stay with NRS. As said before, the marvel characters fighting styles have been around for 20 years and anything by another company would either be too different or a reskin.
What would probably be better is if the story in MvC was taken more seriously.. What happened to all that story that was supposedly written for MvC3?
Maybe a Capcom vs SNK type arrangement would work with each company doing their own DC vs Marvel title...
 
I liked injustice, I'm not a technical fighting fan. I'd rather see Marvel or DC, or both in a smash bros type game that is easy to pick up and play with friends and fun.

Also weird that people are calling Marvel not grimdark, the truth is just like DC their characters have many different writers that portray them in different ways. Hell, Tony Stark was just complicit in blowing up a planet full of innocent people.
 
No, not really mostly because Ed Boon and netherealm's games have the same problem they have always had for me, which is that they don't really hold my attention much longer then a week. Once the single player is done or you get through the arcade a few times the gimmicks of fatalitys and such aren't usually enough to make me wanna go back to them. Unless I have friends that come over who wanna play it but even then after a few fights we usually go on to something like SF or MvC and play those for hours.

Animation wise though. The games have also never been my cup of tea because the characters in MK or Injustice always fell like stiff pieces of boards.
 
At this point I'd love for ANYONE to do another tournament level Marvel fighting game.
For the record Injustice isn't bad. Its just not super deep at its core list of tools and options. Its had all but 2 characters reach top 8, It sold enough to make a ton of profit, it has one of the most successful comics on the market (won some awards even), has one of the better phone game tie ins, and it was approachable at all levels of play to the public.

These aren't things that we should really knock on its lists of achievements. Its not the super deep and loud excitement of the Capcom Marvel fighting games, but its a fun game nonetheless.

An NRS Marvel at the very least would offer an interesting new reinterpretation of movesets to characters who have stayed similar for quite some time. I'd just want them to add things like dodge rolls, or projectiles canceling each other out to give it a faster pace and a nicer close game than Injustice had. Though if they gave us something more akin to the pace and stylings of the new MKX I can't say I'd be sad. That game looks really hype.

Honestly this would be the best answer in terms of profit. Think about it...Smash bros is approachable and addictive at all levels. You could have a ton of items and assist trophies from the Marvel Universe, Stage hazards could be from Marvel locations and story events, minigames would be fairly easy to come up with, collectibles would be easy to get folks addicted to considering you could make stickers cover art from comics, and bios, and overall it'd be a pretty enjoyable experience overall.

Make Marvel a Ringout Smash Bros clone? Hell yeah I'd sign on for that.
 
No thanks.

The style of Injustice is pretty bad in some areas and the gameplay is borderline sleep inducing. Boon's got enough on his plate with making sure MKX is up to snuff anyway.
 
Yeah MKX is fast paced and has details I'd love to see Boon give the Marvel Cast. It'd actually be a fun game to play and not be totally garbage like MVC3 is.

I was going to answer no, but I guess you've got a point. It can't hurt to have them take a crack at it. If worse comes to worse, they just wouldn't make another game again. At best Capcom might be challenged to actually add more content to their own Marvel games among other things. Besides, it's not like it'd replace MVC.
